I think most owners wouldn't remove the speed governor for just weekend track days, while people competitively racing the car would remove it.
You bet. It would be a lot of fun to be "hauling" (112 MPH) down the back straight at VIR in your new GTR and have some happy jack in a stock s2k blast past like you were tied to a tree.

Chevy stands by track use on the C6 and Z06 and dodge stands by the viper in a big way. $1000 inspection is one of the DUMBEST things I have ever heard. In the US they probably won't have that at all. They will just download you computer logs an see that you achieved some high G's and high sustained revs and void your warranty. GO NISSAN!

what's the point of buying a car with those type of performance numbers if you cant experience them safely while on a track?
I guess drivers are going to have to enjoy the performance while on the streets in order not to void the warranty, right?

Maybe this will dampen the markup frenzy.

shhh.. it's listening.

The GTR knows where you live and it has enough power to do a 3.3 seconds 0-60 right over your ass while you sleep. It'll probably talk shit while it does it too.
I wonder who would win in a fight between the GTR and Chuck Norris.


The question I have is, don't they run SPECTATOR track events at Suzuka? They are telling me that I cannot even go visit the track to watch an F1 race without voiding my warranty? That's just dumb.

I wonder what the 0-60 would be in GTR if Chuck Norris was driving....2 seconds flat?

It can't be measured, since Chuck Norris is never at 0.
